Please tell me what do your eyes see?
For I can’t find the core of me
Might you see what blocks my mind?
From seeing what I need to find

Answers come to me so rare
Although I search them everywhere
And time’s a thing I cannot hold
As seconds pass and fates unfold

Whispers come as thoughts all speak
Strength may come if I grow weak
But friends as you here by my side
Give heart and soul a place to hide

So thank you for your love and care
And giving when I need you there
For making path of life more clear
For being each so kind and dear

Thank you my friends.

I don't believe there is anything more valuable or healing as love, as you Rick have displayed here...very beautiful write which is worth it's weight in gold.  By the Way, I've seen one of your poems in Handwriting.  And until now, I didn't know you were the same Rick?  Small world, isn't it?  Much peace and happiness wished for you
and have a wonderful day. I cannot tell you what an honor it is to be in the same book with you.  Thank you, my friend, for your caring articulate nature, and wealth of words as well.

Welcome to the poet's world, Rick
where we always reach
for the unattainable...

and never blush in doing the impossible...

Hello Rick

I believe we should thank you for your warm and caring heart and for your ability to touch us all with your beautiful words.

For you :

"The friends who listen to us
are the ones we move toward
and we want to sit in their radius
When we are listened to, it creates us
It makes us unfold and expand"

Take care......Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
